Safety and environmental protection
Safety rules When carrying out maintenance work, it is imperative that you observe the applicable accident prevention regulations. The following instructions are general safety rules for maintenance personnel:
• Familiarize yourself with the truck crane and its operation. Read the operating instructions carefully and request guidance from crane operator.
• Do not carry out maintenance work unless you are authorized to do so. • Observe all safety and warning signs on the truck crane. • Observe all safety instructions contained in this maintenance manual. • Familiarize yourself with the conditions under which the superstructure may be slewed and the boom may be extended into horizontal position.
• Do not carry out maintenance work unless the truck crane is standing on flat, stable ground and is prevented from rolling.
• Keep all handles, steps, landings and ladders free of dirt, grease, snow and ice.
• Use the proper access aids and working platforms when carrying out overhead work. Wear a harness when carrying out maintenance work high overhead.
• Walk only on those machine parts which are equipped with appropriate steps and railings and therefore guarantee safety. During rigging and maintenance work on machine sections above body height which have no apparatus for accessing, always use the supplied extension ladder (e.g. when lubricating telescopic slide faces).
• Perform maintenance work only after the truck crane has been shut down. Always ensure that the truck crane is protected from unauthorized operation before beginning maintenance work. Remove the key and put up warning signs.

Safety and environmental protection 2.2 Handling substances which are harmful to the environment
If, as an exception, the truck crane needs to be put into operation for certain types of maintenance work, great care must be taken where there are moving parts (superstructure, outrigger, cardan shafts, swivelling connections, motors, tiltable crane cabs, superstructure lock). There is a risk of injury!
• Ensure that all hydraulic components are returned to their initial positions (e.g. the boom) or locked (e.g. the outrigger). Escaping hydraulic fluid or compressed air can cause severe injury. Remember that hydraulic and compressed air systems of the truck crane are pressurized even when the crane is not in operation. Only tighten loose screw connections when the system is in depressurized condition. Always depressurize the hydraulic and compressed air systems before opening them.
• Do not allow hot materials to escape unchecked. Risk of scalding! • Observe the applicable safety regulations when working with inflammable fluids.
• Observe the applicable safety regulations when working with process materials.
• Disconnect the earthing terminal and switch off all electrical consumers before removing any batteries.
• Keep the corroding effect of battery acid in mind. • Note the fire alarm and fire fighting facilities on the site. • Return the truck crane to proper working order once maintenance work is completed. Inform the crane operator accordingly.
2.2
What do environmentally harmful substances include?
Handling substances which are harmful to the environment When you carry out maintenance work on the truck crane you will occasionally work with substances which are considered to be harmful to the environment according to the current national and local regulations. This includes, amongst others, oil, fuel, grease, used oil and fuel filters as well as cloths which have come into contact with these environmentally harmful substances.
• When handling these substances observe the current national and re02.07.2001
gional regulations as well as the instructions in this chapter.

Maintenance Manual GMK 4075
Safety and environmental protection 2.2 Handling substances which are harmful to the environment
Use suitable equipment
Substances harmful to the environment can be corrosive. Therefore only use containers, hoses, pumps, funnels etc. which are resistant to the respective substance.
Filling and draining
• When filling and draining, make absolutely sure that no substances harmful to the environment seep into the earth, escape into the sewage system or polute natural waters.
• Collect draining oil in a suitable container. • Always use a drain hose when draining, a funnel or a filling pump and hose suitable for the respective substance when filling.
Collect and store separately
Substances which are environmentally harmful should always be collected separately from other waste.
• Also collect the environmentally harmful substances divided according to solid materials (e.g. filter elements) and liquids. Disposal costs will be reduced if you collect liquids separately according to certain categories.
• Ask your local environmental protection authority about the different categories for the substances.
• Only store environmentally harmful substances in approved containers and in locations which meet the regulations according to the current national and regional regulations.
Disposal
• Ask your local environmental protection authority about the prescribed disposal possibilities.
• Only have collected environmentally harmful substances disposed of by
02.07.2001
disposal companies which are approved by the national or regional authority responsible.

Cleaning The paint on the truck crane will continue to harden for the first three months.
• During this period the truck crane may only be cleaned with cold water. • Do not use high-pressure or steam-jet cleaning equipment during this period.
• Avoid water temperatures over 60 °C, even after the first three months. • Do not use corrosive cleaning agents that might corrode the paint. • Never hold the spray nozzle of your cleaning unit at a right angle to the
G
surface you are cleaning and ensure that you are standing at a sufficient distance away from the surface you are cleaning. Risk of accidents from misdirected high pressure water jet! When working with high-pressure and steam jet cleaners, the water jet will be deflected by crane parts and could spray into your face and eyes at great speed and high pressure. Always wear a face guard when cleaning the truck crane with high-pressure and steam-jet cleaning equipment.
• Never point the nozzle at electrical equipment, relay and control boxes, suction and venting filters or control elements and lubricated surfaces. The components specified in section 3 - 2 are to be cleaned with particular care.
• After cleaning with a high-pressure device or a steam jet device, activate an intermediate lubrication at the centralized lubrication system ( Centrallubrication system, S. 7 - 56). Lubricate all remaining lubrication points with a grease gun.

Periodic inspections Your GMK 4075 truck crane was inspected before delivery. – Cranes that are to be used in Germany are inspected in accordance with the regulations of the Professional Trade Association as defined BGV D 6 (VBG 9). – Cranes that are to be used abroad are inspected in accordance with the regulations of the respective country. If such regulations do not exist, they are inspected in accordance with the regulations of the Professional Trade Association as defined by BGV D 6 (VBG 9). According to BGV, one periodic inspection must be carried out annually. The regulations in other countries may prescribe different inspection intervals. If such regulations do not exist, an inspection should be carried out by an expert at least once a year. These periodic inspections are generally visual inspections intended to assess the condition of the truck crane and its components. Their purpose is to detect defects at an early stage and thus prevent accidents. Inspections are to be carried out on the following components, where these are not already contained in the list of routine maintenance tasks: – the hydraulic and electrical control and safety devices, – the safe load indicator (SLI), – the mounting and safety devices of all screwed-on parts, – the hoist ropes,
à Load hook inspection, S. 5 - 20),
– load hooks (
– the load-bearing structural steelwork (for tears, deformation, etc.), including a special check of all welds. If damage is found in the structural steelwork, have qualified specialists determine the extent of the damage using the required material examination methods. They should then determine what sort of repair action could be done.

à
Measures required for winch monitoring (hoists) were drawn up by the VDMA and apply to all vehicle cranes in accordance with the Accident prevention regulations for winches, hoists and towing devices BGV D 8 (VBG 8).
Theoretical service life The theoretical service life is the result of certain operating conditions and a theoretical operating time assumed by the design engineer when calculating and dimensioning the winches of your crane. The winches of your crane are classified as follows (ISO 4301/1, FEM 1.001, DIN calculation rules for power units): Power unit group: Load spectrum: Load spectrum factor: Theoretical service life:
H
...... .....; (L.....) =...... =......
The power unit group M 3 and the collective load L1 (Km = 0.125) are generally given for truck cranes in erection mode, resulting in a theoretical service life of 3200 h. The theoretical service life is not the same as the real (actual) service life of a winch.

Maintenance overview 5.4 Measures required for winch monitoring
The real service life of a winch is affected by a number of additional external factors, such as: 1. Overloading caused by improper use of the crane. 2. Insufficient maintenance:
oil is not changed in the specified intervals done
3. Incorrect operation:
extreme acceleration or retardation of the load, load drops and stops suddenly while suspended.
4. Improper maintenance:
using wrong oil, incorrect quantity, contamination during oil change.
5. Improper assembly during maintenance and repair work. 6. Leaks which were ignored. 7. Improper adjustment of safety devices. 8. Concealed damage caused by accidents. 9. Extreme environmental conditions:
5.4.2
low or high temperatures, aggressive atmosphere, dust and dirt.
Proportion of the theoretical service life used The crane operator is obliged to perform a crane inspection at least once a year (ISO 9927-1 and BG V D8 (V B G8)). This includes establishing the proportion of the theoretical service life that has been used. If required, the crane operator is to appoint an expert for this assessment.
02.07.2001
The actual operating conditions (load spectrum) and the operating hours of the hoists are to be determined for each inspection interval when establishing the proportion of the theoretical service life that has been used. The operator is responsible for proper documentation in the crane logbook.

Determining the actual operating hours Ti
The effective operating hours, determined as follows, must be entered into the crane log book for the corresponding inspection interval. The following two of four possible cases apply to GROVE truck cranes: – Operating hour counter separate for crane operation – Operating hour counter for driving and crane operation together Operating hour counter separate for crane operation – The proportion of winch operating hours in relation to the total superstructure operating hours must be estimated.
H
It can generally be assumed for hoist winches that the percentage of winch operating hours in relation to the superstructure operating hours will be 20 % for truck cranes in installation mode. – The effective operating hours Ti of the winch can be called up separately and are shown on a display ( Operating Instructions, Chapter Crane Operation, Section Crane work with main boom).

Determining the proportion of the theoretical service life used
For an inspection interval i (max. 1 year according to ISO 9927-1 or BGV D 8 (VBG 8)), the proportion of the theoretical service life used Si is calculated using the formula:
Km S i = -----------i × T i Km Km =Load spectrum factorestablished during winch calculation. was established. This factor is given in the Operating Instructions. zu entnehmen. Kmi =Load collective factor in inspection interval i according to "Determining the operating conditions (collective load)" Ti =Actual operating hours for inspection interval i according to Section "Determining the actual operating hours Ti" This used proportion is subtracted from the remaining theoretical service life Di after every inspection interval (see example in the appendix to this chapter). A general overhaul must be performed on the winch if the remaining theoretical service life is not likely to be sufficient for the next operating period.
à
If the theoretical service life D has been reached ( Theoretical service life, S. 5 - 21), the winch must not be operated until after a general overhaul has been performed. A general overhaul must be performed at least once every 10 years after commissioning of the crane. The general overhaul is to be arranged by the operator and performed by the manufacturer or his representative. The results are to be entered in the crane logbook. The manufacturer or his representative will specify a new theoretical service life D upon completion of the general overhaul.
02.07.2001
The next general overhaul must be performed within 10 years.

5.4.3
Example A truck crane with a separate operating hour counter for driving and crane operation is classified by the manufacturer according to the Operating Instructions as follows: Power unit group:
M3
Load spectrum:
light L 1, Km = 0.125
Theoretical service life:
D = 3200 h
The used proportion S of the theoretical service life is calculated over the individual inspection intervals as follows:
1. Inspection (first year) The crane was used for assembly work during the previous year: Collective load L 1, i.e. Km1 = 0.125. The superstructure operating hour counter reads 800 h. The winch was operated 20 % of the time, i.e. T1 = 160 h. The used proportion S1 of the theoretical service life after the first inspection is therefore:
0.125 S i = --------------- × 160 h = 160 h 0.125 Remaining theoretical service life:
D1 = 3200 h – 160 h = 3040 h. The aforementioned values are entered in the table (see example table 5 - 28).
2. Inspection (second year)
The superstructure operating hour counter reads 2000 h, i.e. during this period: 2000 h – 800 h = 1200 h (800 h were used during the first year). The winch was operated 40 % of the time, i.e. T2 = 480 h.
5 - 26
2 084 643 en
Maintenance Manual GMK 4075
02.07.2001
The crane was used for unloading work on docks: Load spectrum: L 3, i.e. Km2 = 0.5.
Maintenance overview 5.4 Measures required for winch monitoring
The used proportion S2 of the theoretical service life after the second inspection interval is therefore:
0.5 S i = --------------- × 480 h = 1120 h 0.125 Remaining theoretical service life:
D2 = 3040 h – 1920 h = 1120 h. The aforementioned values are entered in the table (see example table 5 - 28).
3. Inspection (third year) The crane was used for assembly work and occasional unloading work on docks: Load spectrum: L 2, i.e. Km3 = 0.25. Three thousand hours are read at the superstructure working hour meter; i.e., during this period: 3.000 h – 2.000 h = 1.000 h (2.000 h are used in the first two years of operation). The winch was operated 30 % of the time, i.e. T3 = 300 h. The used proportion S3 of the theoretical service life after the third inspection interval is therefore:
0.25 S i = --------------- × 300 h = 600 h 0.125 Remaining theoretical service life:
D3 = 1120 h – 600 h = 520 h. The aforementioned values are entered in the table (see example table 5 - 28).
02.07.2001
The remaining theoretical service life is to be documented in a separate table for each winch. This table is to be attached to the crane logbook. This table is found in the Maintenance Manual appendix for truck cranes that do not require a crane logbook or similar documentation according to the regulations of the respective country.

Description of maintenance work on the carrier
7.1
Tilt driver's cab forward For carrying out various maintenance work (e.g. oil change switch coupling) you must tilt the driver's cab forward. This means that the diesel engine needs to be started.
H Prerequisites and information on tilting
If the diesel engine cannot be started, the boom must be raised using the emergency operation facility; Operating instructions GMK 4075, Carrier operation malfunctions, Emergency operation for lifting the main boom.
à
Before tilting the driver's cab the following requirements must be met: – All loose objects must be removed from the driver's cab. – The main boom is raised to the extent (approx. 1.5 m) that the driver's cab will not touch the main boom (nor the hose drum if equipped with one) when tilting. – Ensure that the hook block is at a sufficient distance from the windscreen when tilting.
S
The universal joint on the steering column may break. The steering angle must not be altered when the driver's cab is tilted. Otherwise, the universal joint on the steering column may break.
Unlock the driver's cab mechanically and attach to suitable hoist gear for tilting.

Unlocking / locking the driver's cab
Unlock the driver's cab before tilting it forward. Lock the driver's cab again once you have brought it back to its initial position.
The driver's cab is locked on both sides at the back with a bolt on the vehicle chassis. To unlock, release the retaining pins (3) and pull the bolt (1) out of the clamps (2). Also pull the bolt out on the other side. To lock, push the bolt (1) through the clamps (2) and secure it with the retaining pin (3). Also push the bolt in on the other side.
Driver's cab tilting
à
Observe the prerequisites stated at the beginning of section Prerequisites and information on tilting, S. 7 - 1. Before tilting the driver's cab. You need to attach and lift the driver's cab to tilt it. You can attach the driver's cab to the truck crane yourself and lift it with the main hoist gear or you can use other suitable hoist gear (e.g. an overhead crane in a hall).
Risk of accidents from toppling objects and doors swinging open. Remove all loose objects (e.g. bags, bottles etc.) from the driver's cab so that they will not topple when tilting and close all the doors of the driver's cab. This prevents liquids from getting into the inserts and doors from swinging open during tilting and injuring people. Risk of accidents due to driver's cab tilting. When you are tilting the driver's cab forward and while it is actually tilted forward, nobody may be in front of the driver's cab.

S
Danger of damage when the driver's cab is tilting! When lifting the driver's cab, the angle between the roof of the driver's cab and the slinging rope must always be larger than 45°. Therefore, use only sling gear which is long enough. If the sling gear is too short, the angle will be less than 45° and the ring bolts and the threads may become overloaded. Two ring bolts (2) are supplied for slinging the driver's cab.
• Screw the two ring bolts (2) into the threaded bores located at the rear on the driver's cab.
• Fasten a rope (1) to each ring bolt. • Fasten the loose ends of the rope to the hook block of the truck crane or to any other suitable lifting gear.
• Ensure that the angle A is always larger than 45° when lifting.
When the driver's cab tilts, the support (2) is pulled apart.
• Tilt the driver's cab to the extent that it will tilt over the pivot point and the support is pulled under tension.
02.07.2001
In this position the spring latch engages (1) (handle points downwards) and secures the driver's cab against unintentional tilting backwards.
G
Risk of accidents due to the driver's cab tilting back. You may only stand under the tilted driver's cab if the driver's cab has tightened the wire rope between driver's cab and vehicle chassis.

Lowering the driver's cab
G
Before lowering the driver's cab, you must unlock the support. Risk of crushing due to the driver's cab tilting back. Before unlocking the support, ensure that the driver's cab is tightening the support or that the driver's cab is secured against tilting back with the securing equipment. By doing this, you are preventing the driver's cab from accidentally tilting back when unlocking the support, and preventing you or other people from being crushed.
• Release the spring latch while also turning the handle (1) upwards.
• Lower the driver's cab until it is set down on the vehicle chassis. When the driver's cab (2) is lowered, the support is pushed in and the stop (3) turns the handle on the spring latch back to the correct position for locking when the cab is next tilted.
• Remove the two ropes (1) from the ring bolts.
• Screw the ring bolts (2) out of the threaded bores.
• Store the ring bolts and the ropes safely, ready for driving.
• Lock the driver's cab with the two bolts;
G 7-4
Accidents may occur if the driver's cab is not locked. Relock the driver's cab to the vehicle chassis with the bolts after having lowered it. This prevents the driver's cab from tilting forward (unter the boom) when braking.

Checking for leaks
W
• With the diesel engine running, make a visual inspection for leaks and escaping hydraulic oil on the hydraulic components of the superstructure (hydraulic cylinders, lines, connections, hydraulic pumps, motors, valves, and control block).
• If leaks are detected, check the hydraulic oil level and top up if necessary
G
Danger of accidents! Never tighten leaking connections when the system is under pressure. Only change seals, pipes and hoses when the system is depressurized.
If damage cannot be rectified immediately or further damage is likely:
• Inform your local GROVE Customer Support or your repair crew. Immediately repair or have leakages repaired in the hydraulic system to ensure that no hydraulic oil escapes, seeps into the ground or reaches water when the crane is being used.

The main boom must be partly extended in the horizontal position when carrying out maintenance.
Risk of overturning when extending in horizontal position! In the horizontal position the SLI blocks telescoping when there is an attempt to extend a second telescope section. Override the SLI only when you are prompted to do so in the following section and do not extend the main boom more than indicated. Even with 31 t of rigged counterweight and the superstructure slewed to the rear you cannot extend all telescope sections. The truck crane would first overturn. Before lowering or extending the boom, the following conditions must be met:
• Park the truck crane on a flat, even surface. • Create one of the two following rigging states: –The truck crane is supported by an outrigger span of 8.10 m x 6.00 m and there is at least 3.8 t of counterweight or –The truck crane is supported by an outrigger span of 8.10 m x 7.00 m and there is at least 1.8 t of counterweight.
• Enter the SLI rigging code for the current rigging mode of the truck crane. • Fully retract all telescope sections. • Unreeve the hook block. • Lower the main boom into a horizontal position.

Danger of accidents due to turning rope drum. Keep yourself and other people away from the turning rope drum. If you take hold of the turning rope drum, your fingers and hands could be crushed between the rope drum and hoisting gear frame or get caught and drawn in by the turning drum.
• Check the position of the hoist rope s(1) on the rope drums of the main hoist and the auxiliary hoist (additional equipment).
• Slowly turn the rope drum at least one turn in the lowering direction. Check the rope on the drum as you do this. – The ropes must be uniformly wound onto the rope drum. – The turns on the drum must have a uniform distance of 0 to 2 mm. – The cross-over points must be offset by approx. 180°.
H
• Check the position of the hoist ropes on the sheaves at the boom head and in the hook block.
• Check the sheaves for damage and wear, and check that they run freely. Risk of accidents from incorrectly set lowering limit switch! Never turn the free rope end under the drum. Turns on the drum which are unwound when the rope drum is stationary can not be detected by the lowering limit switch. This causes the lowering limit switch to become set incorrectly and to switch off too late or not at all. In addition, the load may fall.

Assessing the condition of the hoist rope
H
If in doubt about damage assessment, always consult an expert. To assess the condition of the hoist rope, you must be familiar with the following: – the type of rope (crosslay rope or Lang’s lay rope), – the number of load bearing wires in the outer strand – the rope diameter ( Operating instructions, chapter on Technical information, section on Superstructure).
à
In a crosslay rope (1), the wires run more or less in the longitudinal direction of the rope. In a Lang’s lay ro p e(2), the wires run at an angle of approximately 45° to the longitudinal direction of the rope.
02.07.2001
To calculate the number of bearing outer wires (1), count the number of outer strands of the rope and multiply by 7.

Replacing the hoist rope
The installation procedure can have a great influence on the service life of a hoist rope. Errors in installation reduce the service life considerably, therefore: – make sure the hoist rope is not twisted when it is installed. – ensure it does not get dirty or damaged while being fitted – reel the rope up in the same direction in which it was reeled onto the drum on which it was supplied – tense the rope slightly while reeling it up.
S
Use only a replacement hoist rope which has the same technical specifications as the defective rope or an original replacement rope.
• Unreeve the hook block (à Operating instructions, chapter on Rigging work, section on Setting down the hook block).
• Wind out the hoist rope until the lowering limit switch switches off. • Adjust the lowering limit switch so that you can unwind the hoist rope

G Maintaining slip ring assembly
Operating instructions, – The battery master switch ist switched off; chapter on Diesel engine, section on Turning off diesel engine. tt
Risk of damaging the safe load indicator! Before maintenance work on the slip ring assembly, always switch off the battery master switch so that the cable drum is currentless. This prevents short circuits which may lead to damage to the central unit.
To lubricate the slip ring assembly, only use lubricants specified in the Maintenance plan, S. 5 - 13.
• Make sure that the cable drum is currentless.
• Unscrew all screws (1) and remove the cover (2).
• Check the seal on the casing for damage and replace it if necessary.
• Remove any moisture in the casing with a clean, lint-free cloth.

Longer periods out of operation Carry out the following work if the truck crane is to be out of operation for a long period (months):
Before the truck crane is put out of operation
• Clean the crane thoroughly from inside and outside. • Remove rust and touch up the paintwork. • Parts which are not painted must be lubricated with an acid-free grease or oil.
• If more than half of the oil change interval has passed: • Change the oil in accordance with maintenance plans M 3 to M 12. • Seal all air filters. • Increase the type air pressure by 10% and mark the tyre position or support the truck crane on outriggers and let it stand in this position.
During periods out of operation
• Check the levels in the fuel tanks. Always keep the tanks filled. • Check the batteries every week and recharge them if necessary. • Check tyre pressure every week and inflate the tyres if necessary. • Perform a full functional check of the truck crane every two weeks. (Open all air filters in advance). Run the hydraulic systems up to a fluid temperature of approx. 50 °C and check all functions of the carrier and superstructure hydraulic systems.
• Ensure that the tyre positioning is different each time the crane is parked (without outriggers).
• Seal all air filters again. If the crane is out of operation for more than 12 months:
• Carry out all maintenance work in accordance with maintenance plan M 12.
